dc.descriptionThis article examines the armed conflict in the territories of the Indigenous communities organized under the Regional Indigenous Council of Cauca (CRIC) as a “war of the worlds” between an ancestral-spiritual Indigenous ontology and a criminal-extractivist assemblage. Drawing on a multisided ethnography, it analyzes how the violent practices of non-state armed groups affect the Indigenous world—that is, the relational totality that integrates humans, spirits, and territory. It argues that this violence seeks not merely territorial control, but the de-indigenization of the territory, meaning the destruction of the relational world that sustains Indigenous life. In response to this offensive, Indigenous communities develop practices of territorial and spiritual (re)harmonization, through ancestral knowledge and inward-directed speech, as forms of ontological resistance aimed at sustaining the continuity of their world. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
